My name is Nina, a student in 6th grade at St.Mary School. Throughout the years I had the best teachers that tought me about so many things that I find so interesting. I love playing basketball at St.Mary and they have the most creative art projects that I love to have. The students there are so welcoming and they are great loyal friends. The students in my class are very smart and I am so happy to have them! My principal Mrs.Untch listens to everyone's opinions and comments. She is a understanding principal that I love having around the school! Fr.Ed and Fr.Tully, the priest of St.Mary Church teach me so much about God and what Jesus has done for all of us. They teach me so much about life and Jesus in the homily's that are so well put together. I am happy to have chose St.Mary School and hope to achieve more!
